Mapuche Culture Tour

Delve into the culture and traditions of Pucón's Mapuche community. You'll learn about their customs, rites & dances and even play one of their ancestral sports.

Mapuche Culture Tour

At 2 pm, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Pucón and drive to a local Mapuche community near the Villarrica Volcano. During the community tour, we'll visit several rucas, where families will share insights into their worldview, including customs, dances, rites, and religious ceremonies.

Participants will engage in activities such as toasting wheat and spinning wool, and may try on traditional Mapuche clothing: women often wear a ñaña, while men typically wear a huentro.

Additionally, we'll organize games of palín and chueca, two traditional Mapuche sports, with a focus on their historical significance. After exploring the culture of Chile's largest indigenous group, we will return to your hotel in Pucón, arriving at 6 pm.

Pickup

This activity includes pickup from hotels in central Pucón. For those in remote areas, pickup will be at Calle Pedro de Valdivia, 375.
